A question about indirect object pronouns and IO or reflexive pronouns instead of possessive pronouns?Indirect objects/pronouns are clearly necessary in certain cases such as when pegar is used to mean "to hit" someone/something as in "Le pega al hermano" for "He hits his brother." (Golpear takes a direct object as in "Golpeo la pelota y ella la golpea también" as in "I hit the ball and she hits it too.")
However, when given the sentence (in Duolingo):
"Did you see the goalie stopping all of their penalties"
why are the translations:
1) "Viste al portero atajándoles/parándoles/deteniéndoles todos los penales" accepted
while the translations:
2) Viste al portero atajándo/parando/deteniendo todos sus penales aren't accepted?
I know that we use object pronouns in place of possessives with body parts most of the time and sometimes with clothing as in "Me pongo los guantes" for "I put on my gloves" but why #2 supposedly unacceptable (or is it acceptable also)?
Any help would be appreciated as I can find no clear explanation and most translators actually give #2 as the answer.
¡Me encantó esto!
Muchísimas gracias a Ana y a todo el equipo por este fantástico homenaje al maravilloso Miguel Delibes Setién :))

What is the difference between tener que and deber?
1. You marked my "continúa" as incorrect, telling me to remove the tilde (but you then included the tilde in your final version).
2. You told me to "Use a conjunction other than conque for 'so'", and then you proceeded to use "conque".

I don’t understand the use of present perfect in telling past events.
Hello,
I hope everything is well at Kwiziq!
How would I express something like:
"They are my dad's"
Would it be:
"Son de mi padre"
Ser is a verb and I'm not sure if it can be used with the preposition "de" like this or if this is a common way to express "they are" in Spanish. Could you use the pronouns: este, esta, estos, estas, ese, esos, esa, esas?
Thank you,
Andrew
Hi, I'm wondering if Inma is speaking in her normal voice/pace in this audio, or if she is enunciating carefully for us learners and the B2 level? I'm asking because I've noticed that I understand her pretty well, but when I watch videos of native speakers on Youtube, often I don't understand anything. Thanks!
In the test, I got this one wrong:
Dame todo ________ tengas en el bolso. Give me everything you have in your handbag.
The correct answer was "lo que," but I thought it was "que," my reason being that I thought "que" referred to the single word "todo." I'm still confused as to why "que" is incorrect, so any clarification would be great! Thanks.
Buenas tardes,
Whenever I click on the link for the lesson on conjugating ‘Hacer’ en el Futuro Simple I am brought here for conjugating ‘Salir’ en el Futuro Simple.
I’d be most grateful if you could check this out of me.
